			Examples
			========

			The directory ``examples/`` in Tamaas' root repository contains example scripts
			dedicated to various aspects of Tamaas:

			``statistics.py``
			This script generates a rough surface and computes its power spectrum
			density as well as its autocorrelation function.

			``rough_contact.py``
			This script generates a rough surface and solves an adhesion-less elastic
			contact problem.

			``adhesion.py``
			This script solves a rough contact problem with an exponential energy
			functional for adhesion. It also shows how to derive an energy functional in
			python.

			``saturation.py``
			This script solves a saturated contact problem (i.e. pseudo-plasticity) with
			a rough surface.

			``stresses.py``
			This script solves an equilibrium problem with an eigenstrain distribution
			and a surface traction distribution and writes the output to a VTK file. It
			demonstrates how the integral operators that Tamaas uses internally for
			elastic-plastic contact can be used directly in Python.

			``plasticity.py``
			This script solves an elastoplastic Hertz contact problem with three load
			steps and writes the result to VTK files.

			``scipy_penalty.py``
			This script shows how to implement a contact solver in python that uses the
			contact functionals of Tamaas. Here we use Scipy's
			:py:func:`scipy.optimize.minimize` function to solve a contact problem with
			penalty.
